Subaru WRX STi Saigo - REVIEW - the last OG STi (ever!)

Cars come and go...unless it's the Subaru STi you're talking about. They just keep coming out cooked to the same recipe as they always have. Same workhouse EJ25 engine that's been up the (marginally) pointy end since day dot in 1994. Until now.
This one here, the Saigo, is the final edition to ever feature that celebrated original motor. There's a new car coming with a new engine and a bunch of other new tech. Blu takes the last OG out to see how it's weathered the sands of time. Pop on your raincoat.

I remember the days of Evo v Wrx, Falcon v Commodore. Those were good times. Now, it's just going to be Impreza v Lancer, Mondeo v more powerful Mondeo... 😪

Dead right Element. And before you know it, even those humble vehicles will be replaced by silent transport appliances.My suggestion is to put something fast and noisy in storage for those days in the future where you just want to be a bit naughty. Cheers for watching. Blu.

Hey Blu great review. As the admin of the Saigo Members Group and owner of #20 of 20 for these cars I absolutely agree with everything you have said. These sorts of cars will be deeply missed when they are not around anymore. The new 2022 WRX was just announced and the feedback is definitely mixed.

Hey, great to hear from you Ranock01. And chuffed that you've watched my video.Hope your members get a look, too. Congrats to you all for securing your pieces of automotive history. I'm sure it won't take long before you're all looking back smugly on your purchases (maybe already are.) The Saigo (be it WRX or WRX STi) are cool cars and will only become more sought after when the new models hit the streets. What I've seen so far of the US-spec WRX doesn't warm it to me visually, at least. Cheers for watching. Blu.

Nice to see a review from New Zealand. Been waiting for the new 2022 Subaru STi for years now to replace my JDM 2004 Legacy 3.0R wagon in the 6 speed manual which has just been amazing to be honest, essentially its a WRX wagon. Personally I like the looks of the newer version over the older version, its a bit more radical. Please do a review as soon as you can get hold of either the WRX or STi. Really hoping the new STi will blow me away on the test drive and make me want to trade in the wagon.

Thanks Carlos. We’ll do our best to get all over the new Rex when it gets downunder. Cheers for watching. Blu. 👍

One thing I've loved about the Impreza based chassis over here is that Subaru NZ have dialled in the suspension perfectly to NZ conditions. The later models ride and handle better than some of their competitors with active dampers.

It gets tested heavily here and ozzy I believe

A wonderful review! I don’t know about NZ but in AUS those exclusive BBS wheels are $4500AUD a corner. This alone justifies the price of the car if you like them.

Thanks Jason. You’re right…. those wheels alone make the Saigo a bit of a steal. Cheers for watching. Blu.

The next ones should be pretty great. Our ‘20 Impreza feels more modern inside than our ‘18 Levorg.

I could just about go an upgrade pack of those Recaros and rims though.

Your saigo is identical to my australian final edition

@Ranock01 2 жыл бұрын

Almost the same. The package that you get with the Austrlian cars with the keys etc. are a bit different. Also the Australian delivered cars have a "EJ25 Final Edition" plaque on the left side of the boot and a numbered plaque in the centre console which the Saigo did not.
